Chapter 2 The Empress Dowager Who Has Reigned for a Long Time (The End)
Along the way, Li Shengming's thoughts grew increasingly complex and he became angrier. He felt more and more that Luo Xi was selfish and didn't care about him, her only son...
If Luo Xi cared about him, she would have had some reservations, and she wouldn't have been so decisive in ordering someone to kill Consort Chen.
Ultimately, she only cared about herself and the power she held; she didn't care about him at all...
Other mothers would repeatedly yield for their sons' feelings, so why couldn't his mother do the same?
Is her heart really made of stone?
Cining Palace
Zhuzhu hurried in from outside and whispered, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor has arrived."
Luo Xi wasn't surprised; she knew he would come.
The next second, Li Shengming strode in, glaring angrily at Luo Xi, without even a proper greeting...
Luo Xi looked at Li Shengming with icy eyes, "What? Is the Emperor here to interrogate me?"
Li Shengming: "Mother, have you never cared about me at all?"
He clenched his fists tightly. "Why can't you spare Consort Chen for my sake? You know how much I love her."
Luo Xi sneered, "Ha!"
"She's a princess from the previous dynasty. Aren't you afraid she'll kill you one day?"
Li Shengming: "I am not afraid."
“Consort Chen is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the Empress Dowager; she would not treat me like that.”
Luo Xi casually tossed a teacup from the table at Li Shengming, injuring his finger and drawing blood...
"It seems you don't want to be the emperor anymore."
Li Shengming: ? ? ?
He didn't say he didn't want to be emperor!
Luo Xi: "Since you don't want to be the emperor, then don't be. This throne isn't indispensable to you."
Li Shengming: !!!
What do you mean? Doesn't the Empress Dowager only have one son?
"Mother, if you don't let me be the emperor, do you want to become the empress yourself? Father shouldn't have let you take power in the first place."
Luo Xi: "How dare you!"
Li Shengming: "If I dare to be so presumptuous, what will the Empress Dowager do?"
"Does Mother Empress expect me to be treated the same way she treats Consort Chen?"
"Does Mother dare?"
Luo Xi stood up, her eyes filled with coldness. "Why wouldn't you dare?"
"Since Your Majesty and Consort Chen are so deeply in love, and even want to die in the same way, how could I not grant your wish..."
"Guards, drag him away and execute him."
"Yes, Empress Dowager..." Then, someone stepped forward and grabbed Li Shengming's hands, attempting to pull him away...
Li Shengming: !!!
Mother Empress really? How dare she? He's the emperor, and her son too.
impossible! ! !
The Empress Dowager probably just wanted to scare him.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, let alone her only son.
In the end, Li Shengming underestimated Luo Xi's ruthlessness. He was dragged away and, like Consort Chen, was executed by extreme torture and died...
Luo Xi sent word to all the ministers that the Emperor had been assassinated on his way back to the palace.
Even if those ministers knew something, they wouldn't say it. In truth, this emperor had no real power or ability, so his death wouldn't seem to have much impact, since the Empress Dowager had always been the one in power in the dynasty.
Finally, Luo Xi became the Empress... (The End)
